the gunman and possible motivation of everything involved. be a some of the answers -- and some of the answers we may never get. >> but if anyone can help it's the dean of arts and science and and the author of a book. doctor newman joins us this morning on the phone to figure this out. good morning and thanks for joining news good morning thanks for having me. >> let's start with the difference. obviously this is affected so many because it was an elementary school but as far as the shooter goes, and the circumstances of the this what's different from other school shootings we have seen in the past? >> most of the school shootings we studied involved people inside the school because they were supposed to be there. this is one of those events where there was an intruder from the outside much like the case in lancaster county pennsylvania in 2006 war man came into an amish school and found his victims there. these are difference that actually matter in interpreting the motive of the shooting. but for most people it looks like a very strong family

resemblance between all the terrible tragedies. >> which is what? >> they involved people who shoot innocent victims they don't know and who are you know enacting a rage against the community in which they live. >> and doctor to that it seems like is there a common thread that exist between the shooters loners versus failed joiners and those people who might be seeing as social outcast? do they carry any common theme? >> well, the theme of social outcast is a common one for most of them. they often do stuff -- they suffer from mental illness not because people mentally riel violent but a -- ill are vienlt but people that are violent are often mentally ill. he is looking to change the way the rest see them. they don't just commit suicide they want to go out in plays of

antihero -- out in anti-hero glory so we will remember their names a reverse of the traditional hero. but we will remember them and they don't want to be remembered the way they are as misfits or people who couldn't find a niche in our society. >> doctor. >> their prefer to be remembered as anti-heros. >> we struggled what to do with this because we don't want to glorify someone who did something so terrible but there's a question how do you handle something like this? do you have suggestions as someone who has done so much research how we do this so we don't glorify killers so there won't be a next time and people won't be tempted to do something like this. >> it is a very good question and a very difficult needle to thread because what we really need to prevent the shootings is for kids who hear rumors about the intentions of the shooter which they often do to

come forward. they wouldn't come forward if they didn't know the things really happened and the media is the mechanism by which they learn it's possible. so, some degree of public attention is necessary for kids to understand that. but the liability as you point out is it creates this glorified or certainly attention receiving figure and that does drive a lot of this violence. >> all right dr. catherine newman with johns hopkins thanks for your time this morning. >> my pleasure thanks for having me. >> and now maryland's most accurate forecast. >> let's talk about the fog this morning and also we have some showers back off towards the west and west virginia right now. and entering pennsylvania. we do have the chance for more showers to work their way in as we go throughout the day. but as you step out the door, don't forget to take the rain gear with you. we will get gradual clearing as we go throughout the day so we have a little bit of everything going on.

let's go outside now in bel air where we are looking at clouds. we have wet roadways from the first round of showers that went through this morning. and we are going to get some gradual clearing as we go through the day as well. 46 degrees right now in parkton. 47 now in parkton and we updated right before the eyes. more of the same in baltimore and annapolis coming in at 50 degrees right now and we are at 51 in centerville and federalsburg at 53. and this means that you need to take the coat with you this morning but you don't necessarily need the heaviest or warmest coat in your closet this morning. and at the surface we are in between the warm sector or we are in the warm sector in between the cold front and the warm front that's sliced through the area. this is why temperatures are mild this morning. we are waiting for the cold front to move through behind that high pressure will build in so we will get lots of sunshine in the forecast as we head towards tomorrow. but this is what to expect for today. depending on when the cold

front moves through, and if we get more sunshine in here, temperatures will boot up to about 58 degrees but temperatures will drop off by tonight much colder and cooler tomorrow with that cold front moving through coming in at 53 degrees. and from there, it gets colder. look what we have as we go into friday. saturday and sunday, the ravens game is going to be a cold day. but a dry day. let's check the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren cook. >> reporter: good morning. we are dealing with some fog across the region. so take it slow this morning. be sure to use the low beams. we have accidents a crash is cleared to the northbound shoulder of 83 right at 28th street. and if you use the jfx to get downtown, do expect heavy congestion right now southbound. it's going to be jammed from ruxton to street. on the beltway, the delays will continue we are dealing with a crash on the shoulder of the outer loop near 795 and you are looking at old court road. it's going to take 15 minutes right now to travel from 795

morning america. have a great day. [ male announcer ] this is bob,

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes.

new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options,
